Hello, this is Inique.

Today, with the director of Inique, we’re going to look at ways to improve under-eye wrinkles.

When a hollow forms under the eyes, many people wonder whether Seoul Apgujeong filler can solve it.

Of course, filler procedures are relatively simple and less burdensome than surgical methods, so they may feel satisfying at first.

However, compared with the advantage of being simple, one drawback is that the maintenance period is relatively short.

Today, we’ll look at why many people wonder why filler alone has limitations when it comes to improving under-eye concerns.

A symptom that makes the skin under the eyes look sunken is understood to be influenced by hollows and fine wrinkles.

Fine wrinkles usually occur as time passes, as aging progresses and skin elasticity decreases.

Under-eye hollows have several causes. As orbital fat bulges outward, the area becomes puffy, and beneath it there is a structure called the retaining ligament, which firmly connects the bone and skin. Because of this, a hollowed appearance can form.

In other words, fine under-eye wrinkles and hollows have different causes.

Therefore, it is important to identify the exact cause and find the right solution for it.

The first cause is when the skin under the eyes is too thin.

The under-eye area has very thin skin, even compared with the rest of the face, so if filler is injected incorrectly, it can be very noticeable from the outside.

In particular, the filled area may appear bluish, so some people say their dark circles seem worse after filler.

The second cause is that the under-eye area moves more than other areas.

So in everyday life, when making facial expressions, frowning, or smiling, the muscles under the eyes move, which makes it difficult for filler to stay in place.

For this reason, over time, the filler may shift or clump together.

As a result, it can easily look uneven.

Of course, Seoul Apgujeong filler has the advantage of being fast and convenient with visible effects, but because the maintenance period is not long, at about 6 months to 1 year, wrinkles and hollows can become visible again, so you may end up needing filler again.

If filler procedures are performed frequently like this, the structures under the eyes and the skin’s elasticity can stretch and the elasticity may decrease, so caution is needed.

In other words, while it may be effective short term, from a long-term perspective, it is not an efficient method.

Therefore, improvement plans and strategies should be established according to the cause.

If the cause of the under-eye problem is severe fat bulging, under-eye fat repositioning is more efficient than Seoul Apgujeong filler.

The reason is that this method can improve under-eye puffiness and hollowness by strengthening the septum and moving the fat.

Also, if there are many fine wrinkles in the skin, improvement may be expected through Botox treatment.

If the skin is severely sagging, people in this case can improve the elasticity of the sagging skin through methods such as lower blepharoplasty or lifting laser treatments.

If there is a lack of volume under the eyes, rather than Seoul Apgujeong filler, fat grafting can be used to improve the condition, and natural results can be expected from a long-term perspective as well.

Under-eye wrinkles and hollows cannot simply be seen as something that is corrected by filling in the sunken area.

Each individual’s condition must be assessed, and after careful analysis, surgical and non-surgical methods can also be used together depending on the case.
